Only 2 people do not show a trail. We do not know the real circumstances so no conclusions can be drawn.gc362952246 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 8:31 pmThere are two people got appointments around page 88. One is called summer something.

do we have any record of any1 opting out and being given appointments immediataiely, I think 10th Aug is only the second batch and 7th Aug is the first battch - may be for June applicants ?
I hv loogged into UKVACS and understandably do not see any appointments.
I am thinking to do similar things as you, i.e, apply before the 28days. But I got various information and not very sure it is safe to do so. It's good to see you got the reuse email. It seems the CW is OK with, at least, your early application.kraviraj82 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 2:01 amDear Members,
Please help me with my queries
Application – Set (LR) – ILR Long Residence route
Date UK Entered - 16th Sep 2010
10th Anniversary – 16th Sep 2020
28 Days before 10th Anniversary – 19th Aug 2020
Date of Application - 31st July 2020
Reuse email – 06th Aug 2020
Deadline to optout – 10th Aug 2020
I am applying through a solicitor and based on solicitor’s advice the application was submitted on 31st July 2020
Questions
1) As per UK Immigration website, application should be made only after 28 Days before the 10th Anniversary, but I applied Set (LR) on 31st July 2020, i.e. 20 Days earlier. Is this Valid ? As my solicitor says application can be made well before but the biometric should happen only after 20th August (not earlier than 28 Days before the 10th Anniversary)
2) Now that I have submitted the application and received Reuse email from UKVCAS and deadline for optout is 10th August, if I don’t opt out (OPT IN) will UKVCAS ask all the documents and consider the biometric before 20th August, which is against the 28 Day rule and eventually my application will be rejected ?
3) What happens if I OPT IN ? What are the timelines from UKVCAS ?
4) Let me ask in a simple way, considering the above timeline Should I OPT IN or OPT OUT for a successful application ?
Thanks
Ravi
My solicitor hasn’t have any preferences on which route would be faster .. I have personally decided to go for IDV app considering that I do not need to physically go to an appointment in case some areas will go back to lockdown in the future. Just read news about COVID-19.ILRGB wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:24 amThanks for your views.Gilo wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 11:33 pmThat’s true. Letting the staff check at the enhanced service point is wise.

I am in Leeds and we only have Enhanced Service point here. There is no point for me to submit the documents. I would have to pay £70 for no reason, so, why not let them check the quality and submit. I am waiting for the UKVCAS email.
I applied on 23.07.2020. Received biometric reuse on 05.08.2020. I’m thinking to wait for the IDV...
I just have a feeling that even if I Opt out, I will still have to compete for appointments and it won’t be my turn to get it until next month. By the time, the IDV would have been launched ... my own feeling.
Is your solicitor recommending the IDV app route or the appointment route? Are you still evaluating?
I haven’t received any email from an individual caseworker requesting document submission. I am still waiting for the IDV.ILRGB wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:33 amAre you waiting to click the"submit" button on the UKVCAS portal, after uploading documents?klownking wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 11:25 pmI am also waiting for the document submission.

or
Are you waiting to submit the douments to HO via email communication?
Considering they were giving July applicants until 5pm today to 'opt out' I would not expect any news on this until after that. Most likely this evening or tomorrow morning.Maddy_1992 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 5:32 pmQuick question: as per the UKVCAS email from tomorrow (w/c 10/08) the new appointment slots will be released.. The email says that we will receive an email when the new slots hit the system.
Is it worth waiting for their email or is it better to just keep on checking the system starting from tomorrow?
Do you guys know how it works?
I sincerely feel your pain, same situation, April and 6 weeks of artificial delay, also I am finding it not to be fair that people who applied in July can opt-out now with us... But... let us believe in the best-I hope this afternoon to receive this email with the precious link

May I ask if you are in the re-use group and if you decided to wait or opt-out? I believe appointment is the way to make money for them, so 97% sure there will be lots of them for people who opt-out, and they will most likely be expensive I think it is a quicker way...
The funny thing is people who applied after us in july have booked appointments already!! Absolutely joke

Has anyone who has opted out of the IDV app got an email from FES today Monday until 12 pm?

I applied in June and spoke to them this morning in regards to making an appointment, they said it would still take a few more days to receive the email to book appointments. They are absolutely unhelpful and unfair!

Hi, can I ask who did you speak to? Ukvcas?
Is the phone call to UKvcas or third party? I really hope the one who answered your phone gave the wrong information
You never know if its end of the week.“If you opt out on or up to 7 August 2020, UKVCAS will send you an email during week commencing 10 August 2020 inviting you to book an appointment at a UKVCAS service point.”
yep, but the week has started and clearly, we expect emails ASAP not in the end of the week, hahaCULLINAN wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 12:37 pmThe email that applies to applicants up until June states:
